VCL for Windows

Remote Access for Using VCL on Windows PC's

OTS offers technology to remotely access software applications by providing a Virtual Computer Link (VCL). This virtual desktop allows you to access applications as if you were on campus using a standard UB Windows computer. You will be able to access Outlook, M, R, H and S drives.

Installation Instructions

Note: These instructions are written for Windows PC's. Please review the entire document prior to connecting. For instructions on a Mac, click here.

Reboot the computer and then launch the VMware Horizon View Client from the Start Menu.

For the Connection Server, enter view.ubalt.edu

You will be prompted to enter your username and password. Use your UB netID and password. Click Login.

Select an "Image" and then click Connect. Note: you may see more than one image if you have access to different VCL environments.

Tips for Using VCL with Windows

Saving FilesSave files on your campus M drive or R drive. You can also save files to your local PC drives (A:, C:, D:, etc.). Do not save files on the virtual desktop or to the C drive. These are temporary drives and will disappear when you logout. OTS cannot recover files saved to an incorrect location.

Log OffMake sure that you log off from the Start menu of the VCL desktop when you are finished working.

SoftwareThe virtual desktops provide standard software packages and will not serve up access to any special programs installed on your work desktop.
